Another day in the life of Ramona and Mommy
Ramona is amazing, she really is. I still can’t believe she was formed in me and I don’t think I will ever get it or believe it, cause sometimes; well most of the time, we need to see it to believe it. Isn’t that how it is in this world? I wish I could say that I fully understand it all, creation, but I don’t and I guess that’s the beautiful mystery of it all.
Ramona is 5 weeks now and looking so much like her Father. It’s neat. I know her traits will mature a lot more, but it’s quite interesting to watch.
The noises she makes when I nurse are the cutest thing and make it worth while. The milk moustache she gets after a full feed is adorable as she smacks her lips for more. I am some how making this milk. It’s incredible.
There is a book out there called, “The Joy of Breastfeeding,” and I need to get it, because that’s really what it is, Joy.
Most of my life I have done everything at a real high speed and quite scattered brained and nursing helps me to stop and smell the flowers and take my time.
I do sometimes read while nursing her which I think is okay, but I am usually distracted by her incredible cuteness that I have to stop and watch.
Being a mother is hard, but awesome.
God definitely knew what he was doing when he made the women to have the babies and the men to be the helpers.
It’s been real hard for Matt and I to get into a groove and routine, but it will come, I know it will. It’s been a huge shift.
The most selfless act one can do is give up your wants to give your baby everything it needs. Easy to say, but its’ what needs to happen, cause the baby fully relies solely on Mama at least in the first three months. Mama is everything to this little being and I personally feel like I am doing what I was made to do.

She smells like fresh yummy candy, sweet sweet candy. I don’t know how they smell so good! I don’t bathe her everyday, that for sure and not in candy!! But she still comes out as sweet as ever.
I miss her if I haven’t held within a couple hours and I dream about her at night. I am in love with her. *smile*
We are so blessed, we are.
My days with her can sometimes be exhausting, but I wouldn’t have it any other way; giving her my all.
